You’ll need to find where the actual container files are being stored. I’m unfortunately not familiar with Lemmy Easy Deploy, but you should have a folder that has some files/folders like docker-compose.yml, volumes, lemmy.hjson.

The important one is the volumes/pictrs/files folder, take the full path of that folder and replace it with the /srv/lemmy/example.com... path from the original post, and then that command should work.

Yep! You can even just alias the docker command to podman, and most things will work just fine. Podman can also expose a socket that is compatible with the Docker API for anything that requires it too.

I feel like it took me quite a while to get the hang of Docker, and Kubernetes on a general look seems all that much more daunting! Hopefully one day I can break it down into smaller pieces so I can get started with it!

I get the feeling their argument wasn’t 100% over illegal content (but I do agree - you shouldn’t expect a bunch of individuals to try to fight potential legality issues, I certainly don’t), part of it may have been in regards to all of the other reasons defederation occurs. Such as LW removing piracy communities for legal reasons, as opposed to Beehaw defederating from LW/SHIJW over the open registration nature of those instances.

Thankfully my instance is mine, so I get to make those decisions for myself. Unfortunately I’m not surprised though that there seems to be a bit of a split between people who evangelized Lemmy as the “where Reddit can’t decide to block content” (which I saw a lot of, during the sub protests) and then on the outside that’s exactly how it looks.

Telling people to host their own instance, or to have multiple accounts on multiple instances is probably the equivalent of the same thing being discussed here as the Linux evangelists who go “Well just use FreeCAD” (to use an example from further above) when they say they use Windows because they’re involved in professional CAD work.

There’s a lot of nuances between Lemmy, Federation, and The Fediverse as a whole that gets left out when people introduce others to it and I’ve seen a lot of cases where that causes precisely this issue - it’s sold as a one size fits all solution when that couldn’t be further from the truth.

I have no stance (I’m not here to tell other admins how to run their instances) on the subject of the matter in this comment chain, but that’s how I see it when I try to “play devil’s advocate” and look at it from different lenses.

Huh? I’m a bit confused by what you mean with this. I mean I even run my own single user Mastodon instance for myself, and I certainly have never needed to “verify” my account.

You can put links on your profile that get a “verified” checkmark next to it if you put in a special meta HTML tag anywhere on it, but that’s more of an “I control / own this page” thing, and doesn’t actually really mean much to people as far as I’ve seen - is that what you mean?

Same line up of clients that I use, though I do toss in Connect every now and then just to check on how its doing. It’s been super exciting to see the Lemmy mobile app ecosystem progress thus far!

Well yeah, I’d say the same concept applies to using anything tech related these days. It’d be like if you “knew” where all of the keys on a keyboard layout that you don’t normally use are located - you’d still need muscle memory to actually use it efficiently.

Agreed! If I had to take a guess, its a Risk vs Reward game so-to-speak. Your ISP doesn’t really have anything to lose by complying, but Cloudflare’s whole business revolves around reputation (something most ISPs clearly don’t care about unfortunately) along with being a massive CDN. To them, the risk of having their reputation sullied by someone going “I don’t like this” and taking down a potentially paying customer’s site makes it worthwhile fighting the legal battles that could come out of not complying with a takedown request.

Just guessing of course, but it would somewhat make sense.

I see what you’re saying, and I wish that was the case. To play devil’s advocate here though, at least your ISP and WD have a legal team (at least I’d assume) to deal with frivolous lawsuits - most Lemmy admins however do not.

WD also can’t feasibly remove the content from your drive (yet?), that would be easy to prove to any judge. That is not the case for instance admins where it’d be easy for anyone to testify that there is indeed a “Purge/Block Community” button available for instance admins.

I currently use GitLab, but if I were doing things from the start I’d go with Gitea or Forgejo since its lighter. Though I do quite like GitLab CI (which is why I didn’t go with the other initially) but these days I hear Gitea has Actions support built in.

Oh my goodness, is that BlueJ? I haven’t seen that thing in ages…

Somehow I missed that, thanks for the link!

Ah, I see - do you know if that was changed at some point? I know when I originally setup my instance it was listed there, and it was just me on it. Everyone else came from join-lemmy as far as I know…

Well, regardless I’ve been meaning to try to get some personal friends aboard anyways 😅

Huh, this just made me realize that my instance isn’t listed on join-lemmy anymore, that’s odd (not popular enough I suppose). I guess that explains why I haven’t had any registration requests in a while…

Well, like many others here I self host a ton of services other than just Lemmy for a few years now, and my Lemmy instance isn’t taking a significant portion of resources that would be needed elsewhere so I have no intention on my instance going down.

My instance isn’t large enough to require multiple admins at the time, but I do have multiple friends in the IT space who I trust and could bring onboard should that change.

Welcome aboard, and hello from across the Fediverse!

Yes, on my instance for example your comment has 10 upvotes and 7 replies - the same counts are reflected on the origin instance lemmy.world.

On a non-serious note, I’ve never heard it referenced as a “meatball menu” and I absolutely love it. It makes sense given the similar term “hamburger menu” too!

Instance admins can block communities, usually you’d do a purge (to erase the “cache” of the local copy of the community) and then block it.

Kbin users can even block a whole instance on a user-level as far as I’ve heard, which isn’t currently possible on Lemmy.
